It's Saturday, and that means chore day and definitely NOT my favourite day of the week. But I know I'll enjoy waking to a freshened home tomorrow and a day off between farm feeds so I kept motivated : )
The past few days have seen more chicks and our first turkey-ling hatch!
...I'm beginning to wonder if I have perhaps gone a little overboard on the poultry population this season.
I enjoy the chickens and appreciate them for the eggs they provide the kitchen. I have no qualms over selling surplus chicks to good homes.
. But the ducks and geese? They are another matter entirely! I am very possessive over my ducks and geese : )
Which poses a dilemma because currently there are two turkeys, three hens and three geese sitting on nests with a total number of perhaps 65 eggs. And 40 duck and geese eggs in the fan forced incubator. In fact, the egg collection has grown so large I found myself pulling out the old incubator to house even more eggs!
And this is how I found it the morning after setting it up in the workshop-cum-barn.
Claimed by the Ginger Ninja...

He was adament as they were in HIS domain, they must belong to HIM.
It took a few minutes to convince his Lordship this wasnt the case. Mr Whiskers (aka the Ginger Ninja) eventually resumed his normal post on a hay bale.
"One needs ones beauty sleep. Go away"
What a life!
